Roll call! 5/30 weekend

[chilibeansm0m]

Hey ladies anyone out there?!


I can't say too much as I've been mia as well.

It's been a HELL of a month. I hate the summer with a burning passion but am READY for June.

Let's see...

We're pretty sure A has some sort of milk protein intolerance/dairy allergy/possible soy allergy of some sort. Dude has always been congested in the nose but it kept getting worse. Pedi acted like it was no big deal but suggested I go dairy free. It's been 3 days. I'm trying. I'm not a huge milk or yogurt person so that's fine. But coffee creamer/cheese/sour scream and pizza are being missed. I'm hoping if I limit my dairy and cut the obvious dairy it'll help. Of course it'll be weeks til it's out of my system for us to see if it helps.

We are still battling thrush. All this f----ing month dude. We were given nystatin and from day 1 A became a screaming crying puking mess. After a particularly terrible night where he screamed bloody murder for 2 hours, puked everywhere and dh worked 14 hours I ugly cried to the advice nurse and we're finally getting answers with the reflux and have been prescribed the genitian violet stuff. Really really hoping this kicks the thrush for good. My boobs are still in bad shape.

We are waiting to hear if H is getting a promotion at work which could include a raise. We still haven't decided about me but for the time being I have talked to my boss and have moved my return date to Sept 1st for now. (Not sure if I said that already?) I promise I'm not trying to aw.

Anywho what's going on with the rest of J13???

I realized I didn't mention R. Baha. R is doing well we've finally realized A is here to stay. I think. Her hitting and whatnot has gone way down to almost zero. She just went through a growth spurt and is growing out of 2t clothes. Cue the tears.

Here's some pics for those of you not on ig.


I rewarded her with a mini strawberry frap yesterday for being a big girl when we had to take A to the doc's for the second time this week.


We were happy after a 2 hour nap in the ergo the other day!

chilibeansm0m Aw they are both so sweet! It is crazy how fast they grow! Sorry to hear about the milk protein intolerance and thrush. Hopefully it gets better soon.

DS is doing great. I have been SAH with him since December which I have a love/hate relationship with. It has been great to spend the time with him but at the end of the day I definitely prefer to be a working mom! He is such a little ham - always running around, laughing, talking, singing. Non stop! He's currently running around in just a pull up with a bucket on his head lol. He is a string bean, still on his 10th percentile for weight curve but 50th percentile for height. He wears 18-24 months still because 24 months and 2T fall off his waist lol.

We are still in the process of selling our house. But I am over it so I have turned my focus to moving. We are moving June 27th! I am so excited! DH and I are actually going to go up in a couple of weeks so we can paint before we move the furniture in. We have been researching tractors/mowers too. Going from having landscapers at the condo to having to take care of 8 acres (only 2 is cleared and needs mowing though) will be an adjustment! We are also planning on chickens, goats, and lots of gardens. I am so excited!

I hope everyone is doing well. I love when I log in and see new posts on this board

That's crazy! GL with the move. I'm so not ready to move with 2 kids and all the stuff that comes with!

Yeah I am loving being at home and I think I'll still start crying if I think about going back to work yet. But maybe I'll feel differently at the end of summer.

@aeroplaneoverthesea Congrats again on the new house! So exciting. Good luck with moving to the big boy bed! It sounds like you're slowly making some progress.

We have to start kicking the "baby" things but I feel like this move is so big that he will probably regress some so we are just waiting to be settled there. But potty training and ditching the crib and paci are on the to do list lol.

Things are going well here but I am so ready for school to be out. DD has been really cranky & fussy lately about the smallest things. We go in a couple of weeks to see if she needs tubes. Happy to see you ladies around!

cupcakesandpi Aw she is so sweet! Good luck at her ear appointment.

I used to be thisdecaflife. E and I are back in the United States, it's been 3 weeks and I think we're pretty well adjusted. She misses her dad, he doesn't come home for another 2 weeks but the time with my family is flying by.

We spent the weekend at Disney! Everyone is exhausted and she hasn't stayed up so late so many days in a row since she was a little (horrible sleeping) newborn. Today is her first real nap in about 5 days.

Hi there @aest! I have been thinking of you. How long are you in the States until your next placement? It is crazy to think you are back after 2 years. Time flies.

It goes too quickly. Florida through July then Virginia through March then we go to Colombia.

Finally go DH completely on board to have another baby since I likely can't work in Colombia because my Spanish is too bad. My plan there is to have a baby and learn Spanish. Hoping to TTC in Fall so we have about a 3.5-4 year gap.

Congrats on trying for #2! I also got DH 100% on board for a second after being OAD for a long time. Now that DS is older we feel ready. A 3.5-4 year gap is what we are planning on too.

Welcome back! It's so nice to have some life on this board, our numbers have dwindled but a few of us are still around. Sounds like an exciting year.

Our life until DH retires.
